Pull up a chair. Where we are from there is no such thing as a stranger. Our favorite way to connect is around a table of delicious home cooked food. And don’t worry we never forget dessert! We’re Jan and Josie, and we're a mother and daughter wedding photography team tucked in the heart of rural Illinois, but we love photographing new people and places! We believe in lasting legacies of love, rich family traditions and everyday moments that are worth celebrating. Most of all, our heart is to serve! We are so glad you are here. Make yourself at home.

welcome,
We want to create beautiful memories for all of our clients that they can look back on someday and remember where it all began; their love story, their children as toddlers or their beautiful senior that is getting ready to leave home for the first time. To us it is about celebrating all the ways you and your story are beautiful and unique. But most importantly we want to walk away from every session, wedding or event feeling like we loved our clients to the very best of our ability.
Why we do what we do
Are we the perfect fit?
We love storytelling through photography. We feel it is an honor to be invited into your life and to capture your moments. We believe that more than anything we want to capture your life as it happens, in a laid back setting that you can truly be yourself! We know photography to be an art, a passion, and a personal experience.
We can't say enough amazing things about Jan and Josie. They were recommend to us through friends who recently go married so we knew how amazing their work was and it was an easy choice to make. We didn't get the chance to meet with them before the wedding day, but as soon as they arrived I instantly trusted them with my wedding vision, and boy did they deliver. I am still blown away with all of the amazing photos they captured, whether they were posed and romantic, or they caught us in a silly candid moment. We are still getting so many amazing comments from family and friends and I would highly recommend them to anyone!

I cannot say enough good things about Creative Touch Photography. We were absolutely blown away by our pictures and how easy the entire picture-taking process was on our wedding day. Jan and Josie were organized, efficient, detail-oriented, and made everything so effortless and enjoyable. They captured the big and small moments of our day perfectly so we can re-live it over and over again. It’s very apparent that they love what they do and are EXCELLENT at it. My family and I recommend Creative Touch with extremely high regard. We can’t thank them enough!

My husband and I booked Creative Touch Photography for our wedding in Alton, IL this past November. Living near STL, there are endless options for photography however nothing compared to Creative Touch Photography in Macomb, IL. We chose to book Jan and Josie because I worked closely with them for another wedding I was a personal attendant in. After my experience working next to them and seeing how amazing those wedding pictures were, it was a no brainer to book them for ours. Jan and Josie are professional, responsive, and so easy to work with. They take into account their clients wants and needs but are also creative to inspire clients to try something new! Looking back on my wedding day, I was so calm and didn’t worry at all when it came to our pictures, I knew I was in good hands and our pictures would be amazing.

Jan and Josie are amazing! They have such creative ideas and captured so many special moments on our wedding day. They did a great job of making sure we were able to get all of the shots we requested in addition to coming up with other creative poses! We would highly recommend them to anyone.

Josie and Jan were just what our day needed. Both women were supportive and amazing to work with. They came with a plan and kept us on track, an almost impossible task with our wedding party. Despite swamp-like conditions, threatening rain storms and other catastrophes, they created an atmosphere that could make any bride and groom feel beautiful and at ease. Our photos are more exquisite than we could have ever imagined. They told the story of our wedding day that we will be able to tell our children about.
